LLDB (Swift): Casting Raw Address into Usable Type
Under Xcode 8.2.1 and Swift 3, the lldb command po or p won't work with the typed variable. You will need to use the swift command print to examine the properties of the typed object instance. (Thanks to cbowns's answer!) E.g.:
expr -l Swift -- import UIKitexpr -l Swift -- let $pin = unsafeBitCast(0x7df67c50, to: MKPinAnnotationView.self)expr -l Swift -- print($pin.alpha)
You can use Swift's unsafeBitCast function to cast an address to an object instance:
(lldb) e let $pin = unsafeBitCast(0x7df67c50, MKPinAnnotationView.self)(lldb) po $pinThen you can work with $pin as usual – access properties, call methods, etc.
